I'd rather have a compact reactor to defend than a monstrous LNG terminal (which is where we are heading).
I feel like my family is safer living far away from any nuclear power plants.
Contrary to your feelings nukes are far safer in terms of human life than coal mining or propane.
Remind me how many people were hurt in Three Mile Island?
ZERO. That's what you get when you design for the worst possible case, a core melt, which is a tractable problem.
You're free to live next door to one.
